About this project
What does Cobblemon Alpha Candy add?
🍬 Alpha Candy
Ever wished you could turn your own Pokémon into an Alpha Pokémon?
Alpha Candy is a Cobblemon addon for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds candies for transforming your Pokémon into Alpha Pokémon, purifying them, and applying advanced Alpha effects.
Prepare your candy, choose how much Alpha Essence to use, and take your chances. Want a guaranteed transformation with additional benefits? Advanced Alpha Candy has you covered!
✨ Features
🍬 Alpha Candy
Use Alpha Candy on an owned Pokémon to attempt an Alpha transformation.
The success chance depends on the candy's Alpha Essence level, which is set when preparing it in Cobblemon's Cooking Pot.
Pokémon species included in the configured blacklist cannot be transformed.
🧪 Alpha Essence
Alpha Essence is a custom Cobblemon Cooking Pot seasoning. You can obtain it by using Purifying Candy on an existing Alpha Pokémon you no longer want.
The Cooking Pot has three seasoning slots, allowing you to prepare Alpha Candy with different Essence levels:
| Alpha Essence | Success Chance |
|---|---|
| 0 Essence | 1% |
| 1 Essence | 33% |
| 2 Essence | 65% |
| 3 Essence | 97% |
Each occupied Essence slot adds one Essence level, regardless of the number of items in that slot. Each occupied slot consumes one Alpha Essence when the candy is prepared.
The base success chance and the chance increase per Essence level can be customized through the configuration.
✨ Advanced Alpha Candy
Want a guaranteed Alpha transformation?
Advanced Alpha Candy guarantees the transformation and provides additional benefits:
- Increases your Pokémon's level by 1.
- Maximizes its friendship.
- Applies the special Advanced Alpha mark.
- Sets Attack and Special Attack IVs to 31.
- Sets all other IVs to random values between 20 and 31.
- Never lowers existing IV values.
Pokémon with the Advanced Alpha mark also emit special violet particles from their eyes.
🍭 Purifying Candy
Changed your mind?
Purifying Candy removes the Alpha status and the Advanced Alpha mark from a Pokémon, while restoring its friendship.
Depending on the configuration, it can also return Alpha Essence and restore health.
🔊 Sounds
Candy interactions include sound feedback:
- Successful transformations use the level-up sound.
- Purification and failed regular Alpha Candy attempts use the fire-extinguish sound.
🍳 Recipes
All candies are prepared using Cobblemon's Cooking Pot.

- Sets HP, Attack, and Special Attack IVs to random values between 10 and 20.
